ok. i am so sorry for this lagged entry on what happened on my birthday.
it was EXACTLY one week ago when...
after my math tuition on sat i went to GEN's place to collect my tiramisu cake. walking that dark dark alley to her place was a terrifying experience but yeah i made it. and moreover i was so malu-ed by what happened at her place. the whole scene abt thinking her sister was her from the back view when she was actually bathing upstairs. RAH. hahah. and nice chocolate cake from GEN's mum! yum!
and off i went with my tiramisu cake. where to? HOME. i was soooo irritated ok. everything was like so not confirmed and so i went home. i used a stupid way to get home. i took the train from Kovan to Harbourfront and cab home from Harbourfront! HAHAH. well it's cheaper than cabbing from Kovan straight isn't it. what a smart girl i am. hahah.
and while i was at home doing bio, finally a call i've been waiting for came. like when i was abt to sleep ok. and so i went down to the void deck. not knowing what will happen in my room after i left. but yay. the cake was still nice and i ALMOST achieved my objectives la! NEARLY succeeded but nvm. i thought i did a great job. HAHAH. but the pop-up was great. the one and a half hours was simply great too (: YOU ROCK.
ONE AND A HALF HOURS LATER at 1.34AM...
my dad called but i could've stayed longer but i was also urged to go up as well. and so i went up feeling puzzled. when i opened my bedroom door. HAPPYBIRTHDAY! i was like WHAT THE?! hahahah! i was really pleasantly surprised la. to see DING with her camera, ANDY, AMOS and GEN with party poppers. totally like a surprise party la.. apparently they came into my place and decorated my room the moment i left for the void deck. i felt so sorry that they had to wait for an hr plus for me to come up from the void deck. oopss. hahah.. and i was still annoyed and wondering why THE phone kept vibrating that night. TSK. hahah!
and the few of us talked for an hour or so as well before they left for home at like 3plus AM? weird conversations we had abt farting after ANDY's continuous bombing. EXCUSE ME he did it on my BED. like totally disgusted can. hahahah! but we couldn't stop laughing and laughing until all of us almost died. and oh i exposed DING abt her secret. been waiting for that moment since we were on that topic. heh heh heh. yeah. so that was sat night/sun morning! totally enjoyed myself. like woohoo!! apparently everything was planned by GEN. I SOOOO LOVE GEN OK!
they made my birthday so much more special. (:
and last SUN. met up with DING, HUIS, and PONG for a shopping session! finally like gotten my Forever 21 top ok. and i got a pair of fake birks from far east as well. well not exactly fake but just a different brand. neckermann! i spent more than 70bucks. i felt so guilty. but since my mum allowed me to spend it i dun mind. hahah.. oh and sweet HUIS prepared a surprise for me at breadtalk wisma as well.. she got a cake and when DING and PONG went to find her she asked the breadtalk staff to play "happy birthday" on their audio system. i was like OHMYGOODNESS.. AHH! so sweet of them! I LOVE DING HUIS PONG! (:
the heartshaped cake from my lovely ladies (:
us at topshop (:
and after i finished the cake we went off shopping. from like 2+ to 6+PM when i had to go home for family dinner. NOT TO MENTION i had to walk from far east to somerset to meet JINGXIU and KENNETH to get my present. but it was all WORTH IT. when i saw their present for me i was so touched i almost cried flipping thru it. and although the JINGXIU:KENNETH pages is like 16:4, it was still a nice effort by the non-artistic him. HAHAH.. oops. but i do do do appreciate their efforts. I LOVE JINGXIU! can't say i love kenneth or jingxiu will kill me. so yar. KENNETH ROCKS TOO. (JINGXIU will probably die laughing reading this para but yes. hahahah)
to sum up. my 18th birthday was really a blast. thanks to all those who made my birthday a FANTABULOUS one. I LOVE EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU! (: thanks to IAN, CAIS as well for their sweet gifts. and for the birthday wishes from the various people, thank you. it's much appreciated! (:

13th july 2006 marks the end of the council term for the 28TH Student Council.
some of us even started crying when we heard our LTC song being played with the video although we weren't watching it. it just came naturally la. like it's so fast that one year actually passed by like that.
the walk in was rather entertaining. it was like a fashion parade! and although many walked with red watery eyes. it didn't matter as long as we walked with style.
everything went as planned. until.. pres forgot the pledge! we were like HUH?! why so different from the rehearsals! hahah but we all played along and followed. then came the most cruel line of all stepping down ceremonies. "councillors please remove ur badges" ahh! hahah. the college hymn after that was all out of tune because most of us were all crying. even ANDY la! my goodness i really couldn't believe andy would actually cry! hahah.
when we took the final bow as a council and the curtains drew close, the scene of us hugging n crying was quite nice to see la. at least there were really friendships made through this council term. i tink i cried more when i hugged 3 pple. jingxiu. caiyu. and finally. ian.
JINGXIU. because if not for council. we would never be this close now. and i would not have such a great friend supporting me no matter what and no matter when. in whatever i do. offering advice when i do need it. offering mine as well. it's this connection that has been forged and strengthened through council and going home together.
CAIYU. because my council term began with her. many many many commendation rehearsals till late in the night with her. and my partner on commendation itself. i miss walking down the aisle of St Andrew's Cathedral with her singing crown him with many crowns and onward christian soldiers. i miss sitting up there trying to make her laugh when we're not supposed to. trying to coordinate our footsteps and all. best partners.
IAN. i stopped crying when i was abt to hug him la. but when i did i started crying all over again. idiot. because there was so much that we went through together. excluding being in the same class for the 1st 3mths, we ran the campaign for council together. brownies and cheeky soapbox speech. we were in grad night comm tgt. we headed the log comm for orientation 1 tgt. there were just too many things we did tgt. and everything was so memorable! my goodness. stupid ian made me cry so hard when i hugged him.
but the stepping down was successful. even though i attended it with a high fever of 39degrees. and we know that despite having stepped down, memories made and friendships forged will always remain alive.
14th july 2006 was our first ever council chalet.
it was like a gambling den ok. 3sets of mahjong were being played simultaneously. cards. my goodness. but of course there's also PSII and the guys' favourite winning eleven. whenever i hear them shout when playing the game i'll ask someone "is it really that fun?" hahah. i just can't seem to understand. hahah. but chalet was nice. stayed up the whole night till 6am plus. and only thing was that there weren't really enough beds for those who slpt over. james and i had to sleep in the hall. but i really salute friend because he was sleeping in such an odd position in a chair! but i got the whole sofa to myself. heh. and those who woke up early played mahjong 1st thing in the morning. it was like some addiction. and i was disturbed i couldn't get to slp anymore. RAH. hahah.
but i hope there'll be more outings like this! it's really really fun! (:
photos will be up soon!
and this song will bring back tons of memories that will forever be kept close to my heart..
We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me
This is the start
[Chorus:]
And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers, on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
[Chorus]
Knew there was somebody, somewhere
A new love in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
the end of a journey. marks the beginning of another.

college day on friday was a torture and fun-filled. the court shoes were killing me. but thats partly because my heels were already aching before that. so yarh. awfully painful! it's gonna be our last event besides stepping down. so sad. 1year ago it was our first ever event! time really flies.
us with Ms Ngiam! she's an IJ STC girl too! cool! (:
and i've 2 blisters on my feet from shopping in heels with huis and ding on sat. we were shopping for really belated birthday presents! hahahah. but many a time we always wanted to shop for ourselves. hahah. we took like so long to decide on what to get for this person and this person and we KIV-ed so many things. hahaha. but it was successful as we managed to get everything we wanted within say 4hrs plus? (: i had so much fun. besides having to be late for tuition like half and hr? hahah! and i am so gonna like get the Forever 21 top if i can asap. RAH! there are so many things i haf yet to get and the singapore sale is ending soon?! RAH! but anyways i so love huis and ding. yes i love them so.
us at art friend. illegal photo taking!
my darlings. why does my hair look short here? no idea.
next week is gonna be a long long week. and i don't wan it to ever come. because we're stepping down. oh no. it's gonna be so painful. i dun ever wanna take off the badge. it is not because it is a sign of authority. but because it is a sign of friendship. a sign of belonging. oh nooo... this is so sad. i'm so gonna cry buckets! )): moreover, chem section D will be returned soon! i hope and pray for 20/30. i'll be so over the moon if that ever happens!! but it's kinda ironic because i studied harder for bio than chem and i'm scoring better in chem than bio. considering everyone in class except 3 failed the structured for bio and my MCQ wasn't that fantastic either. my goodness. hahah. i gotta start studying soon! i will i will.
WORLD CUP FINALS IN 2HRS TIME! who's gonna win? i hope France wins though. Italy.. nahs. hahah. still haven decided whether to watch the match but it's the finals so i guess i shouldn't miss? okies then i shall watch it. means i gotta slp NOW! nights everyone!
there's just no rhyme or reason
only the sense of completion

okies wow. i'm online after a few days off and the computer just screwed up on me which is why i'm blogging at this hour. okies. anyways, the shopping trip on youth day was GREAT. i had so much fun. definitely looking forward to more trips like these but i guess it will have to wait. those who wanna read abt the shopping trip please visit gen's blog. i'm too lazy to blog abt it. hahahah.
been reaching home late for the past few days. and for the next week at least. rehearsing for our stepping down ceremony. which is kinda saddening. to know that our term of office is coming to an end in just 6days. to know that the shiny and eye catching badge will not be worn on the left side of our blouses. to know that the council room will no longer be called ours. to know that the times spent with the rest of the councilors will be greatly cut short because we're all in different classes. and though the ceremony will start off on a HIGH note i bet many of us will be LOW right at the beginning la. only to find ourselves trotting into the CC with red and watery eyes. eeks the thought of it. and the thought of the most cruel sentence on earth will be coming soon. "councilors, please remove ur badges". MYGOODNESS. i tink many of us will just DIE. hahah.
later in the day will be disastrous because MOST of the results WILL BE RETURNED to us. like bio everything and chem sect C. mygoodness. my math was enough of a shock already. i felt like a damn loser. it really was an easy paper. seriously i was super disappointed with myself. and so was my mum i tink. like WHAT THE HELL. was i BLIND OR WHAT. but i guess i can't always dwell in my own unhappiness. i've to pick myself up and walk on. final destination is always the Alevels. the thought of it coming so fast makes me afraid. very afraid. i hope and i hope that my bio is up to my expectations and my chem too. i'm pretty sure i won't do well this blocks. the problem now is how am i going to answer to my parents. and most imptly how am i going to answer to myself. i've disappointed myself once beginning of this week. i dun want it twice. thrice. 4 times.
trying to settle down to study the same old syllabus again really terrifies me. don't even have time to take a breather. yes now i'm taking a breather but i wish it to be longer. i'm so freaking bored studying the same old thing over and over again! can't imagine myself taking Alevels in another few more mths down the road. how to study now.. i can't concentrate. i lose my focus. which means i'm dead. nvm. things will work out eventually hopefully. no. i will MAKE it work out.
aiyar i just feel everything to do with my results will be screwed. i feel screwed up. high expectations? yes perhaps.
but i'm glad i still have friends around me pushing me on though.
and and and i don't want teachers coming up to me saying i'm not performing up to their expectations, or saying i seriously need to focus and study. seriously i don't want. i will feel darn discouraged.
arh whatever. college day tmr. sian. ushering again. just standing around doing nothing. but nvm. last event. i guess i will miss wearing the blazer and everything.
okies i'm off now!
my pillar of strength.

less than 12hrs to SHOPPING! cannot wait cannot wait cannot wait! (:
oh and i shall update like GEN.
this stupid girl. msged me at 330pm on SAT asking if i'm free to go out. and i said yes after my tuition at 730pm. and so i met up with her at city hall at 8pm. and off we went for dinner at carls. the situation was like super chaotic. the system was just screwed la. and customers were complaining here and there for the long waiting time. but i dun blame them. it really took very long. that stupid person taking orders. i wonder whether he got screwed for what he did. hahah. but nvm. we had dinner at the bench under a BANYAN TREE at marina sq. so romantic right? hahahah! the food was good although both of us looked damn unglam biting the huge burger.. the COMPANY (hahahahha) was good. woohooo perfect.
and then off we went hurry hurry shoppping! first stop MANGO. aiyar shucks i really liked the top i tried but really too revealing damn disgusting. so yes i'm sure i'll be able to find one that suits me like later on! hahahah! stupid girl got a top for only 17bucks and it was quite nice la. next stop ZARA but they stopped entry of pple because they were closing soon. ARH. and went to many other shops just to window shop because it was so late then. nvm there'll be another chance (: i love shopping with this stupid girl. i love this stupid girl. hahahahah!
okies thats all for now. more to come tmr!! cheers to the youths! (:
i'm so glad i found an angel
